- As the man page says, `rsync` really is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool. It's known for synchronizing between machines but is equally useful locally. When security restrictions allow, using `rsync` instead of `scp` allows recovery of a transfer without restarting from scratch.

```sh
mkdir empty && rsync -r --delete empty/ some-dir && rmdir some-dir
```
